Eastern Region Spokesperson, Senior Superintendent Jean Marie Njangwe said discovering minerals does not give anyone the right to mine them. \u201cIt is a national resource, thus one needs authorization to mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Illegal mining is punishable by law. It can be lead up to 12 months in jail and a fine of Rwf3 million to Rwf10 million.<\/p>\n
